GCH CH Lockenhaus Rumor Has It v Kenlyn

He flew all the way from the west coast to participate in this year’s Kentuckiana Cluster and the Afghan, Wally, goes home with a BIS and three Group Ones. The GSD, Rumor, closes the set with two BIS, and two RBIS. Wally is one of the most successful breeder/owner/handled dogs we have seen. Jay Hafford and Wally don’t get out every weekend, but they have collected 14 BIS and 71 Hound Groups over the last five seasons. Today’s win was Wally’s first of 2015. Congratulations to Jay, fellow breeder/owner James P Blanchard and owners Debbie & JW Rogers & Beverly & Jae Moore.
